Setting the Flash

When taking pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows, pictures need flash. The flash has an effective range of 0.5 to 2.5 m (1.6 to 8.2 ft). When taking Burst pictures, the flash is automatically turned off.

Note:  Because slow shutter speeds are used when the flash is turned off in low light conditions, take care to avoid camera shake. Use a tripod or place the camera on a steady surface.

	With the camera on, turn the Mode dial to Capture. Press the Flash button. While the LCD is on, press the Flash button to scroll through and select the correct flash icon. See the descriptions of the icons below. The Flash setting remains until changed.
	AUTO (no icon)--flash fires automatically when needed.
	Red-Eye--flash fires once so the subject's eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires again when the picture is taken.
	Fill--flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions.
	Off--Flash does not fire. Ideal for pictures where flash is prohibited.
